“Hello, are you Hannah Clarke?”
Wynn stood up and asked doubtfully as she shook hands with the other person.
The woman smiled brightly, shook her head, and said, “I’m her friend. Something urgent came up and she was unable to make it. This is something she told me to give you.”
While speaking, the woman took out a USB flash drive from her bag and handed it to Wynn. Then, she leaned over slightly and said, “She said that everything you want to know is in there. You may decide if you want to look at it.”
With that said, the woman smiled slightly and turned to leave.
Wynn was stunned. She held the flash drive in her hand and was speechless for a while.
She had to make the decision?
Just when she was still in a daze, a sudden shout brought her back to her senses.
“Wynnie, what are you doing here?”
At this moment, Philip trotted over anxiously. He glanced around but saw no one else.
Had they met already?
Maybe they had not.
“Oh, I’m meeting someone. What’s up?”
Wynn quickly concealed the flash drive in her hand and forced a smile from the corners of her mouth. She asked calmly, “Aren’t you at the office? Why are you here suddenly?”
Philip smiled and said calmly, “Oh, the problem is solved. I happened to pass by and saw you here.
“Well, who are you meeting? Where is that person?” Philip asked with a half-smile.
Wynn raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “She didn’t come. Something came up. Why are you so interested in my friend?”
It was a test.
Philip chuckled and said, “No, I’m just asking. Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
“Okay.”
Wynn did not pursue the topic and followed Philip out of the café.
On the way back, the two of them had their own misgivings and tried to probe information out of the other party.
An invisible rift had developed between the two unknowingly.
They returned to the villa without saying anything. Wynn went upstairs first as she was a little tired.
Philip followed after her. When he passed by the living room, he found Martha, Amelia, and Bernard discussing something.
With a twist of expression, Philip glanced at Martha who was sitting on the sofa and asked, “Did you come up with this?”
Martha did not agree or deny but said instead, “Whether I came up with the idea or not, we’re a family. Lynn calls you her brother-in-law. Will you refuse to help her? Do you really expect us to beg you for help?”
Martha was already very upset with Philip over the matter concerning the villa.
Philip was really getting from bad to worse. Did he really expect her to beg him for help?
“Why don’t you ask Wynn about it then?”
Philip’s face turned grim. He looked at all of them and said, “I won’t agree to this matter. Lynn just graduated. She can go to the company for an internship. I’ll let Wynn arrange it. As for a department manager position, don’t even think about it!”
What sort of people were these? They really thought Beacon belonged to them so they could do as they pleased?
Amelia immediately made eyes at Bernard when she heard that.
Just then, Bernard stood up and said to Philip sternly, “Philip, I’m your third uncle after all. Don’t you think you’re being disrespectful when you talk to your mother-in-law and third aunt in that way? Do you still think of us as your elders?
“You’re nothing but a live-in son-in-law of the Johnston family. What right do you have to act all high and mighty here? You don’t have a choice in this matter!”
Bernard finally had the chance to act like a real man. His face turned different shades of colors as he glared at Philip.
Amelia kept winking at him, complimenting him for being a man.
